Meet Little Willy! Willy is one on the many pets that
have been fortunate enough to be rescued by the Valley Animal Rescue in Renfrew County, Ontario.
Willy, like so many other dogs and cats being fostered through this organization, is
in need of a loving forever home with caring and patient people who can tend to his needs.

Valley Animal Rescue- or VAR- is a registered charity
organization that relies solely on foster parents for the animals they take in.
They run off of the donations and support of their community and local animal
lovers. But unlike some of the other wider known animal shelters or rescue
organizations that have more funding, VAR has to do quite a bit of the legwork. VAR has a network of community members who put in time for these animals without any pay- just the reward of giving a helping hand and a temporary home. Since it’s a foster run charity 100% of all donations go to the
animals.

New
Hampshire Announces Recall of Pet Chicken Jerky Due to Risk of
Salmonella

PRESS RELEASE- September 10th,
2013, Concord, NH – The New Hampshire Department of Health and
Human Services (DHHS) is announcing a voluntary recall of Joey’s Jerky
brand Chicken Jerky due to possible Salmonella risk. A total of 21
people in Merrimack and Hillsborough Counties have been identified with
the same strain of the illness, but no deaths have occurred. Joey’s
Jerky is produced in New Hampshire and the manufacturer, Kritter’s
Kitchen Kreations, LLC, has voluntarily recalled all of the product.
Joey’s Jerky was sold at the following six stores: America’s Pet in
Hudson, Blue Seal in Bow, K9 Kaos in Dover, Osborne’s Agway in Concord,
Sandy’s Pet Food Center in Concord, and The Yellow Dogs Barn in
Barrington. DHHS is asking people to check if they have any of these
jerky treats at home and to discard them.

Through investigation and interviewing the ill people,
the DHHS Bureau of Infectious Disease Control determined that the jerky
treats were implicated in spreading Salmonella. Confirmation through
laboratory testing of the jerky is pending at the New Hampshire Public
Health Labs...

Calvin is a 12 year old Lab who is a Labrador retriever to
the core. Calvin loves food first and everything else second. That’s why his
two-legged family are his favorite people- they always have treats!

A year ago Calvin lost his best friend- a toy Poodle named
Teddy. Teddy and Calvin were the best of friends and did everything together.
As Teddy got older he lost his sight and his hearing. Luckily he had Calvin to
show him the way and take extra special care of Teddy.
